For love or money?
Somewhat strange book published in the aftermath of John's murder. Ostensibly about the lives and music of the Beatles after their breakup, a third of the book is given over to the time before the disolution of the band, before launching into the solo years and ending about 1982. The vivid tabloid writing is a bit lurid at times and the author injects more than a touch of poetic license into the narrative, recreating conversations and attributing thoughts that he can have no way of knowing. He has seemingly interviewed a few insiders close to the Beatles at least.
